The Middle East Political Observer

AGP Executive Report

Last update: 7 hours ago

Washington Shift: Democrats have retaken the Senate and are poised to control the House, giving them new leverage over President Donald Trump’s agenda. The result came amid voter anger over the Iran war and rising living costs. Iran Conflict: US forces struck targets on Iran’s Qeshm Island near the Strait of Hormuz, even as Qatar presses for talks. Tehran and Washington remain far apart, and Trump has left open the prospect of renewed attacks. US-Israel Ties: Trump says the US will end its $4 billion in annual aid to Israel after this year, while continuing arms sales—a major shift in a relationship that has become politically contentious. Israel’s Political Deadlock: Election results have left Netanyahu short of a parliamentary majority, while Arab parties’ gains could shape coalition efforts and the country’s political future.
